Balloon Kitty Birthday Card

There are several wonderful blog hops going on right now! I decided to combine The Cat Lovers Hop with The Hop to Stop raising awareness for domestic violence. That meant I needed to use purple and a cat... no problem! A few other challenges helped to inspire this Balloon Kitty Birthday Card and here they are:
It's been awhile since I've used a stencil and I'm ashamed to admit the Quarterfoil one I used today sit new in a drawer for over a year. I need to break my patterned paper addiction and make more of my own backgrounds, but it's SO hard!!! The stencil is from Clear Scraps and Lavender dye ink by Hampton Art along with Purple Passion powder puff by Quick Quotes were used for color. This adorable kitty image is from Whimsy Stamps and the birthday sentiment is from Hero Arts. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

    Andrea, I love your Quaterfoil inked background; the black and white edge really makes it pop. The kitty is so sweet and adorable holding on to his balloon. Very cute card! x

    So sweet, Andrea, I love balloon kitties! I like your stencilled background! It's nice to see you at both of these hops - one for fun and one very serious. It's good to shed some light on this dark subject.

    Well your background is absolutely beautiful! I love playing around with stencils and sometimes find it hard to use my hoard of patterned paper so maybe we need to switch brains? haha. Thank you for joining in the Hop to Stop and helping to raise awareness for victims of domestic violence.
